Hello there,
Can anyone suggest an idea of how to decorate a birthday cake (one cake) for a mum and her son of 5 who have their birthday both on the same day please?

If you look in gallery you will find a couple of ideas. I bake 2 layers of cake and ice them seperately - putting them on one board very close together.
Some examples:

Hello,

Thanks alot for your help much appreciated. I looked in your lilnks. Thanks alot. I thought maybe of doing a 2 tier cake covered with fondant. I just want a theme that suits both mother and son like for example the little mermaid and her father (which is not good as this has to be for a father and daughter).

Any ideas please?

Thanks.
